We really need this wall for our safety and if they want to be here they need to do it the right way.

US is not a country if we cannot control our borders; it's not the only solution, but also acts as a strong visual detriment. US spends a bucket of $ on illegals & the cost will be offset by savings

We need border security. The Vatican has a wall, Obama has a wall. They do this for security. A nation requires a strong border.

I support the wall. However a unmaned wall will not fix the problem. There needs to be guard towers with armed guards that are allowed to shot on site.

There are to many illegal immigrants coming into our Country without being vetted. If they don't do it LEGALLY they do not belong here.

We pay too much in feeding and educating people who cross the Southern border. We have no idea of what kind of people cross that border illegally. It is nothing less than an invasion.

It’s a simple concept. I’ve been on the border. There needs to be a solid barrier. Will it solve everything ... no. But it’s the first step in the right direction.

Reasons for not building it are too stupid to ponder. Political "statement" seekers like Merkel say security can be adequate without a wall. OK smart guy...why isn't it secure??? Windbag as usual.

Border security has been a joke for too many years. Our middle class has been gutted by the supply of cheap, illegal labor.

We need the wall to help keep out the constant flow of illegals in to our country! All illegals need to be shipped out of our country. Illegal means illegal period!

Wasteful and damaging to our international image--which already needs repair. There are better ways, some more expensive, to manage the influx of people. Walls are just not efficient.

Because when the wall only covers 800 miles of a more then 2000 mile border what good is that. Money would be spent better on more enforcement officers and high tech devices then a partial wall.

Not because of cost...because it will not stop anything. If one really wants to be somewhere, they will find a way, hire more border patrol, willing to pay that tab!

That money would do more good used on our country's infrastructure or health care. I'm sure the drug cartels already have a work around for the wall anyway.

The way to keep people from fleeing dangerous countries is to make them safe. Train the Dreamers to a high level of combat readiness and send them back into those countries to clean up the killers.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
